[edit] Leilani Bishop

Leilani Bishop (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

No sources, no claim of notability. Edison 04:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - This appears to be a very prolific super model. Was on the cover of Allure and Flare magazines and I see she was a Tommy girl. [1] [2][3] --Oakshade 06:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - She's also on the cover of Hole's Live Through This album. Not sure I'd qualify someone as a "supermodel" who's been modeling for 15 years and can only muster a one sentence stub. Static Universe 17:55, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

• comment For whatever reasons (verification of notability difficulties?) models just aren't covered well in general, it seems. There was recently a similar issue with frequent cover model Emilia Attias. Only one sentence. --Oakshade 18:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

• Comment So if you find reliable and verifiable sources, please add them to the article. There is virtually no content in it and no sources. Nothing to distinguish this person's article from hundreds of articles about people of no notability. Edison 17:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

  Many would argue that a model being on the cover of those magazines automatically means she's a notable model, even without the typical sources that verify notability. --Oakshade 22:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

• Comment There are probably occasionally people in ads or covers who are not famous supermodels. Not everyone appearing oon a cover probably deserves an article. So please find a way to cite to the cover, or list the covers as part of the article with the issue date in the text or listed as a reference, in addition to posting images of the covers (which someone might delete). Again, there are articles for literally thousands of utterly non-notable individuals which are also without references, and there needs to be some sources in this one if the person is famous in some realm of achievement. Otherwise it will stay a sub-stub sourceless article and likely come up repeatedly for deletion. The covers were not part of the article Dec 10, and the model's gender was incorrectly stated. Cites to a few articles would also help to inform the reader and establish notability. It said "He has one son, born in 2003. He proposed to girlfriend Mashonda Tifrere in 2004." So what's the story on that? Edison 01:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

  Interesting essay. Won't knock it. I'll only comment about deleting the gender-confusing sentence. As it didn't make any sense and not sourced, I thought it was best to delete it. If someone wants to restore it, I would suggest clarfication on the "he" and being married to the apparently female Mashonda Tifrere and maybe a citation to back it up. (my guess is the article creator cut-and-pasted from the wrong text). --Oakshade 01:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

• Weakest of weak keeps She's one of the more prolific fashion models alright, but outside the Cindy Crawfords its pretty hard to find hard facts on them. I added her sole film role with a review. Does anyone have the October 1992 edition of Interview (magazine)? Supposedly she has a write-up in there, but I'm not paying $23 bucks to read it. ~ trialsanderrors 05:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, fails WP:BIO. It is not possible to write a proper encyclopedia article based only on fashion magazine cover photographs. Chondrite 09:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Chondrite's comment squares with the lack of factual info, such as the person's gender. Sure looks female on the cover, if that is the subject of the article. Can there be an article with just pictures and no text references cited?Edison 15:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, she's a she, Hawaiian, 5'8", 34-25-35, dress size 6, shoe size 8, according to [4]. The comment about the son in 2003 is confirmed here: [5]. There's a bunch of biographical info out there on her, but not exactly from the most reliable of sources. ~ trialsanderrors 00:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
